My name is Carolyn Moore Mack and I have been researching the Moore family since 1985. I would like to know if Johann Philipp Mahr (Philip Moore) ever lived in Buckingham County, who he married and what his third child's name was. I know he lived in Warren which is near Scottsville by the 1810 census but I do not know how the family got to Buckingham County. I have found Joseph Robert on the census for the New Canton area and I found Philip Shelton (one son of Joseph Robert) in the Buckingham Courthouse area and that he was married by John Sprncer also of that area. Johann Philipp Mahr (Philip Moore) was born 1-7-1754 in Dudenhofen Germany. He was sent over to fight for the British in the Revolutionary War. He was captured at the Battle of Saratoga and help for a year at a prison camp near Winter Hill. He was moved from there to a camp near Charlottesville and later moved to a camp near Winchester where he went AWOL with a good friend, Peter Stein. When recaptured, they were sent to a camp near Reading, PA. He came back to VA, married, and fathered two sons and one daughter. Do not know anything about one son. The daughter was Mary Elizabeth (born 1801) who married Elisha Bryant son of Austin Bryant of Buckingham County. They moved to Kentucky in 1824 and settle there. The last son was Joseph Robert (born between 1780/1790) He married Mary Fulcher of Buckingham County and settled near New Canton in Buckingham County.
